John was a great man. Back in 2003, he, JtS, and I had some phenomenal conversations about growing up in Southern Louisiana and attending Tulane through three different generations. John's contributions to civil rights and to overall social reform both in South Louisiana and elsewhere have been, are, and will always be greatly appreciated.
The thing that saddens me the most is that JtS and I kept urging him to write some of his stories down for future generations to read, but none of us were able to do so. One memory that sticks out the most is the three of us in the hotel restaurant just talking, telling stories, listening to each other, and realizing what a special moment it was that we were sharing.
I'm going to miss you, John. In fact I already do.

John was a man of great faith, and this faith helped him greatly through the last few weeks. It's comforting to know that his pain has been eased, and he is finally going to be able to see his beloved wife Betty again. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with his family. It was a privilege to meet them, especially his two grandsons of whom John was so proud.

Will miss him greatly
He has fought the good fight, he has finished is work.
My prayers go out to his family; his spirit and demeanor serves as a model of how all of us should behave.

I also remember...
meeting John briefly at the Bruno's party on June 10, 2003. I shook his hand and said a quick hello. You will be missed, John. God bless you! My prayers are with you and your family. Roll Wave...into the next life!
Proud to be a Dome regular, a Fogelman fanatic, and a Turchin junkie!
So many reasons for me to like him
He was a Vetran, great Greenie, great Democrat, and I'm sure a great Father and husband. Do we send flowers or make donations to the athletic fund?

Even though I never actually met John...
...I always felt like I knew him. Great Greenie, better man. He'll be missed.

Seems like a real good guy. In May, when I had mentioned on here that I had just graduated Tulane, he sent me a really nice e-mail congratulating me:
He will be missed.60 yrs ago, having resided in Doris Hall, Warren House and Fogelman, after small ceremony in Newcomb auditorium, I climbed aboard a streetcar, rode to the L&N station then at foot of Canal, to catch a train to the Pacific, and more importantly in the long run, began life as a TU alum and supporter. May your future be bright prosperous and long lasting, but no matter what, always support Tulane with pride and dignity. Hope this milestone is not the end of your YOGWF postings.

It is always tough to pass condolences to a grieving family without sounding trite, but I sent a brief note to John's son this afternoon and received the following reply. I don't think Louis would mind if I shared it with YOGWF.
Thanks for your kind words.
My Dad just lived for his interactions on the various web boards. Occasionally he would tell me a story about someone on the board but for the most part, I never knew much about them. In the last few days of my father's illness and death where I've taken on the task of notifying his friends, I've come to see how many special relationships he had developed over the years. I'm grateful for them because I know that it gave him the energy to keep going in the twilight years of his life.
